A human male individual worked as a farmer in a village during the Imperial Era, alongside his sister. While working in the field, his sister was saved from falling bales of harvested crops by Ahsoka Tano, who had survived the Jedi Purge and was living in the village under the alias "Ashla." The sister noticed Tano's use of the Force, though her brother did not. That evening, the brother overheard his sister promising to keep Tano's secret. Believing the Galactic Empire would reward him for the information, the brother reported the Jedi's existence to the Empire while Tano and his sister were away delivering harvested crops to Mon-Hella.[1]
While they were gone, the Eleventh Brother arrived at the village and destroyed it searching for Tano. The Eleventh Brother killed everyone in the village except the brother and an old man, and was about to kill the brother for lying about the presence of a Jedi when Tano and his sister returned. The brother initially felt vindicated but when the Inquisitor attempted to "reward" him with execution, Tano intervened and saved him using the Force to push him out of the way, revealing her identity as a Jedi. The Inquisitor attacked Tano, but was defeated and killed relatively quickly despite Tano being unarmed. While relieved that her brother was still alive, his sister was also angry and upset with him for his actions. Realizing the three survivors were in danger from the Empire, Tano used a comlink she had been given to contact Alderaanian Senator Bail Organa, who arrived in the Tantive IV to pick them up and relocate them.[1]
Personality and traits
The village brother could be overconfident, such as when he overloaded a sled for carrying crops. He supported the Empire and believed they brought order and peace after the Clone Wars. When he learned Ashla (who was actually a former Jedi Padawan named Ahsoka Tano) was a Jedi, he believed reporting them to the Empire would give them a reward. However, he learned otherwise when the Eleventh Brother was preparing to kill him for having seemingly lied to him, and was shaken upon seeing the Empire raze his village. After Ahsoka killed the Inquisitor, the brother was remorseful for what he has done, as well as regretting being a supporter of the Empire.[1]
Behind the scenes
The village brother was voiced by Bryton James,[1] who had voiced Zare Leonis from Star Wars Rebels.
